Decent wrestler overall and was pretty good during his first run as a commentary. Really shouldn't have been brought back considering he's been more terrible than good with this current run as a commentator.

In terms of being a bully, he's just someone who never managed to change with the times and WWE shares the blame for letting this stuff still happen.

He seems like a piece of shit. He is good at the character he plays on tv but I usually don't like his commentary that much. JBL/Graves could be good if JBL didn't go on his weird rants.

I would be fine with WWE firing him because of all this. I think a nice plus is that he definitely is a relic of the past and not the future. People will always play pranks - but JBL seems like he always went past a 'prank' from reading all the stuff he's done/said to people. I can't imagine the current crop of locker room leaders having much interest in "sociopathic torture", doesn't really seem like something AJ Styles, KO, Samoa Joe, Balor, Nakamura, Reigns, Rollins, Brock Lesnar, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, etc. would spend much time on. I think they are more likely to play video games than "bully" tbh.

Orton shitting in that diva's bag is probably the last thing someone from the Orton/Jericho/Cena generation did that would really be "too far" that we've heard about, and that was over a decade ago.

In 2017 its a minority opinion but i dont have any compassion for beta males. Man up, bullies can only exist if you're weak.

New, young guys (who are physically weaker than a 6'6 300 pound wrestler) probably are afraid of retaliating because they don't want to lose their job since JBL was known to be very close with McMahon. In a lot of cases, you have to just put up with the torment or potentially risk losing your "dream job" in WWE.

In some new interview, John Morrison says he was only able to finally stand up to JBL's bullying after he was a big established star in WWE.

lol Justin Roberts is a tiny man, Bradshaw would kill him. I envision a form of Spider and Tommy from Goodfellas.

i dunno feel like im talking to people whove never been in any locker ever. This starts as hazing. Always. One guy is a spazz about instead of being cool about it (like every guy in the locker room that isnt currently being ribbed went through prior) and then it just escalates because they're weakness is exposed. Im good with it. If you cant thrive in that kind of environment thats unfortunate. Put your notice in, it isnt going to change.

Not feeling sorry for guys with no spine. Itll change in time though, there will only be beta males left in 20 years or so.

Alright, Ill be serious for a minute.....you want to use "ribbing" or "light hazing" on your team or in your organization? It has to make the place better. If Vince thinks it makes WWE better, welp, he's the boss I guess. Not sure that tip toeing the line on multiple hostile work environment lawsuits is a good idea and that doing so makes the organization better but that's just me.

Look at the "hazing" the Chicago Cubs do with their players and how it affected the culture of the organization. That's what it should look like. Notice the difference. The Cubs make it visible and everyone does it and has fun with it where Vince/JBL isolate people and subject only that person to whatever they deem "fun" and keep it to themselves. Totally opposite ways of going about a similar practice with, predictably, different results.

I've been in a locker room. And hazing definitely made me stronger. I'm just empathetic and sensitive.

I remember there was this nasty guy Travis who could totally kick my ass. First year I played with him I was so scared of him and he treated me like shit. Nothing too bad, but LOL the whole team called me "freak" and "fat shady" and I never saw the field.

When 2 years later came and we were on the same team again, I still had to earn his respect but I just started telling him I would skull fuck him when he was being a dickhole. And just played decent rugby, and we were essentially equals by the end.

I get where you're coming from. But Beta's gotta make a living too. Plus, JBL is a dickhead.

I have been in many locker rooms and yes there are guys who like amping up other guys by light hazing and whatnot but will go to war for that guy he is picking on. Kind of like a big brother situation, typically a team building scenario. From the sounds of itJBL is just a bully. He doesn't seem to bring the locker room together he seems to seperate it. Huge difference between what teams do and what JBL does, if you can't see thwt, you are probably a bully yourself.

Just because something was traditional doesn't make it right. Jim Crow was traditional until Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat.

It's about evolution. It's not survival of the fittest it's survival of the smartest. JBL is a relic and it's time for him to be fired like Bill DeMot was.
